Abstract

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a country that contains many historical places for tourists to visit. Moreover, the Kingdom has announced it is opening the door for tourism in Saudi Arabia under the 2030 Vision. An electronic market can provide service providers and tourists a more efficient way to fulfill tourists’ desired activities in Saudi Arabia at a minimum price. This paper proposed and tested a mathematical model and a heuristic algorithm using Java to match service providers’ consortia with tourists’ wanted activity lists. The result of this proposed model and its heuristic algorithm demonstrated a feasible solution for an electronic market for Saudi Arabia’s growing tourism industry.
